Take it to somebody who knows how to repair a Z.

That code could indicate one of several problems - the O2 sensor got damaged, there is a leak in your intake, there is a fuel pressure or injector problem.

I still dont understand why people are resetting their ecu without knowing what the problem is. There is a reason for the light to come on.

Get your car checked out.

Gotcha. I missed that part of your initial post. There have been some people on here just resetting their ecu without first finding out what caused it.

BumbleZee I see you keep bumping all of these post. I did the same thing a few months ago when mine started coming on. I think it is an exhaust leak even though I can't seem to find one under mine. I'm going to bring it to a shop on Monday and I'll tell you if there is one.
